The National Weather Service is warning of a strong storm that will hit the region overnight, which could bring flooding in low lying and poor drainage areas.
Residents could see between 1 and 2 inches of rain tonight.
"The entire area will get a good soaking rain as the warm frontal band lifts through tonight with many spots topping an inch," one NWS forecaster said. "I would expect ponding of water would be the main concern."
The service also reports that thunderstorms are possible Monday afternoon and evening.
"A few of the thunderstorms may become severe with a threat of damaging wind gusts and large hail." they said.
